Default engine 6.0 and 5.7

i was wondering i have a 5.7 block and have the internals of a 6.0 laying around and was wondering if the stuff from the 6.0 will go in the 5.7 block.

i know the crank and bottom end are the same

thanks

The only thing that won't swap over is the piston since the 6.0l gets it bigger size from its bore. What heads do you have? If you run larger heads on your 5.7 you might ft some valve shrouding of you have larger valves but they should work.

crank is different, but will still work. if its a truck crank, its solid mains instead of gundrilled.

if they are LQ9 or LS2 rods, they will have full floating wrist pins.
